Why are P&I Surveys Important?

ORCA provides P&I pre-entry and follow surveys and including a damage survey or specific ship condition and operation surveys e.g. cargo hatch-cover weather tightness test as required by the Club.

In the contemporary era marked by stringent maritime regulations, shipowners are obligated to adhere to compliance standards and prioritize the well-being of seafarers. The marine P&I surveyor, or the local correspondent, undertakes onboard inspections to assess a ship's seaworthiness. Based on these inspections, recommendations are made to enhance shipping safety and efficiency. Regular P&I surveys not only ensure peace of mind but also foster a culture of trust and safety aboard vessels.

As a result, P&I surveys have become indispensable in the shipping industry. ORCA's P&I surveys play a crucial role in assisting customers to mitigate risks, optimize operational efficiency, and enhance the overall environmental and safety conditions for those on board.

The Value of P&I Surveys

When transporting cargo, ships confront various challenges, and any damage at sea, be it to equipment, cargo, or other minor incidents, poses an immediate risk to the environment and the lives of seafarers. In this context, P&I surveys play a crucial role in addressing and mitigating these risks.
